Anzu grinned when she heard the bell go, she rushed to the door and opened it to see a man holding two pizza boxes.
"Um, that'll be," he squinted at the receipt, "Oh damn, I can't read anything without my glasses," he cursed.
"Let me see," he passed it over, Anzu took a look at the receipt then grabbed the money and handed it over, "There you go," she smiled.
"Thanks," the man said and handed over the pizza, "Bye," he walked away.
"I'll never understand people like that," Anzu sighed and shook her head while heading towards the overly large kitchen to get plates.
She walked over to the basement and opened the door, "Hey, you guys want pizza or not?" she called.
"What's pizza?" Yami called back.
"Food," She replied.
"Does it have blood on it?" Yami laughed.
Anzu scowled, "If you weren't a vampire I'd say you were sadistic," Anzu drawled sarcastically, "And no, it hasn't got blood."
"Damn!" she heard Yami swear.
"Funny, that's what the pizza guy said too," Anzu laughed, "Anyway, if you don't want any I'll eat it, you decide."
Anzu had just put the stuff on the table when she heard voice coming up from the basement. Soon the four vampires appeared, Bakura sneered at her, Marik smirked, Seth looked at her with a cool superiority and Yami didn't look at her at all.
She sighed, "Are you sure this is safe to eat mortal?" Bakura demanded.
"If you mean does it have garlic on then no it doesn't so yeh, its safe," Anzu grinned at the horrified looks that crossed their faces at the mention of garlic.
"Hey, this is really good," Yami said enthusiastically as he took another large bite out of a slice of pizza.
"You're right about that Pharaoh," agreed Seth as he too took another bite.
"I don't trust human food," Bakura said stubbornly, crossing his arms and turning away.
"Wait a minute, rewind," they all looked at Anzu, "did you say Pharaoh?" she asked Seth, who raised an eyebrow and nodded, "Just exactly how old are you lot anyway?" Anzu asked, looking vaguely disturbed.
"3017," Yami replied, "I was seventeen when I became a vampire, the years have just ticked on and on and on although I spent a good millennia or so in that Ra damned coffin down in you're basement."
"Ah, thanks for that little bit of information," said Anzu. "So where you all someone important or what?"
"I was and still am Yami's cousin," explained Seth. "I was a high priest and am 3019."
"I," Bakura said proudly, smirking at Anzu, "was the King of Thieves."
"A good for nothing, lowly, tomb robber," Yami snickered.
"That's not a nice thing to say," Anzu scolded, Yami blinked and Bakura stared.
"Marik's was going to be Yami's tomb keeper but then Marik became a vampire and so his sister took over," Seth explained, Marik suddenly looked a bit upset. He got up and left the room.
Anzu looked after him, "I take it that's a touchy subject," she looked around at Yami who nodded while glaring at Seth. "You guys can finish the pizza," there were only four slices left, "I'm full." Anzu then got up and followed the way Marik had gone.
She just saw him descending the stairs to the pool room, Anzu hurried after him. When she finally got to the bottom of the stairs she saw Malik sitting at the edge of the pool watching the swirling patterns that the water's reflective motions made on the ceiling.
"Do you miss her, you're sister I mean," Marik didn't jump, but he didn't reply either, Anzu had a strange feeling he'd known she was following him. She went over and sat down next to him, slipping off her socks and slipping her feet into the water.
"It's alright;" she put her hand on his shoulder and felt him tense, "Maybe talking will help you feel better."
"How would you know," he shrugged her hand away.
"I wouldn't, I don't think I've ever suffered something like what you've been through," he looked at her, "but the least I can do is try and make you feel better.
"You really care, don't you mortal," Marik almost laughed.
"Of course I care, despite the fact that you're first impression wasn't entirely reassuring I'm sure you're not as bad as you seem," Anzu smiled and Marik looked taken aback. The last person to show him such kindness was his sister.
"How do you know that for certain, for all you know I could drain all your blood right now despite Yami's promise," Marik argued.
"You could, but would you?" she looked up at him; his violet eyes met hers, "Would you really do that to me Marik?"
He sneered and looked away, "Foolish mortal innocence," he scowled.
She laughed, "Surely you must have been innocent at some point."
He spun around and tilted her chin up roughly with his finger and thumb, "Mortal, I have been many things, innocent yes, childlike, sadistic, suicidal, masochistic, homicidal, a lover," he whispered the last one in her ear softly and left it hanging.
Anzu blushed and gulped, she him chuckled, "Foolish little girl," he murmured before pulling away and beginning to stand up, "thanks," he held out his hand to help her up.
Anzu plucked her feet out of the water and grabbed his hand, he began to pull her to her feet when she slipped on the wet floor and went tumbling backwards into the pool. Now in a situation like this, or even falling down stairs, it is customary to grab onto the first solid object you can lay you're hands on. In this case Anzu clung so tightly to Malik that he ended up falling in with her.
Anzu flailed about madly as she pushed herself to the surface taking in a great gulp of air. Marik soon resurfaced in front of her, "What in Ra's name did you do that for mortal?" he demanded.
She grinned apologetically, "Sorry, accident." He scowled again and she threw water at him, he spluttered in surprise.
He smirked, "Why you little," he left it hanging as he dived underwater and pulled Anzu under.
He resurface before she did and when she came up behind him he had little time to notice before she dunked him. Anzu managed to get to the side of the pool before Marik could get to her; she hoisted herself out part of the way, her legs still handing in the water. The rest of her torso was stretched out against the edge.
She laughed when Marik came up and looked around wildly for her. "See, innocent," she grinned.
"That's not funny," Marik sulked as he swam over to the edge of the pool so he was right in front of Anzu.
As a reflex she reached out and stroked back the wet hair that had fallen into his eyes, "I think it was," she whispered slowly, then she yawned, reaching up and stretching.
Marik didn't even bother to try and hide his stares as the alright wet material of Anzu's thin top stretched even further over her chest, she yawned, "Time for bed," Marik groaned silently refusing to get of the water.
"Do you want a towel?" Anzu asked holding one out.
"Yeh, thanks," she tossed him one as he got out of the pool.
"You're welcome," she yawned again, "Kami-sama I'm tired, and I have school tomorrow as well, night Marik," she called as she went up the stairs.
Marik only starred after her, "I'm going to need a cold shower," he mumbled.
It was later that night, Bakura had gone out hunting, Seth was in the large library reading and Yami was cornering Marik, "So what exactly happened between you two eh?" he demanded smirking, "I wouldn't of thought you'd go for the mortal types Marik."
"Nothing happened Pharaoh," Marik sneered, "and even if anything did happen is that a hint of jealousy I hear in you're voice."
Yami scowled, "No," he crossed his arms defensively.
"Is the Pharaoh falling in love again with a pathetic mortal being?" Marik sneered.
"Shove off Marik," Yami commanded.
"Fine," Marik crossed his arms behind his head, "Oh and since it's no bother to you, you won't mind hearing that Seth was checking her out."
He saw Yami go red, he couldn't blame him, Anzu wasn't exactly a woman or fully grown but for a mortal her age she was pretty well off.
"Seems like there's going to be some competition," Bakura smirked to himself, he'd just come back from a very successful hunt, his bloodlust safely quelled for the night he strolled over to the basement door and swung it open with every intent of going to sleep. After all, there were only a couple of hours before the sun came up.
"Have a good time Bakura?" Seth asked coming up behind him.
Bakura licked his lips, "Very much so."
"She'll be mind you know," Seth said casually.
"So this is about the mortal, don't worry, there's no competition," Seth smirked, satisfied, what Bakura had really meant was not that he was uninterested, but that there was no competition to stand in Bakura's own way.
Marik went upstairs and found Anzu's room, he smirked walking over to the bed. She'd kicked some of the covers down. He reached over and pulled them up and then turned to go.
Suddenly, a warm hand wrapped around his wrist, he turned to look over his shoulder to see Anzu smiling sleepily up at him, "Thanks Marik."
"You're welcome…" he paused for a long moment, "Anzu."
She smiled and he left the room.
Okay, I know it may look like I'm favouring Marik but the plan is that there's a moment with each, we've already done Yami and Marik, Bakura is up next.
Pairing status is as follows,
Yami; 6
Bakura; 2
Marik; 4
Seht; 4
Yami/Seto triangle; 1
There's still a couple of chapters to go before I make the final decision so don't worry.
